Faculty unionization in private schools and colleges poses a problem for already harried independent school administrators.
The selection of a union, the end product of a series of difficulties, is a reaction to a situation that might have been altered
had school administrators understood how unions come into being. This guide is intended to help administrators understand
what a union is and the factors that promote its development. Included is a discussion of ways in which administrators can
lessen the appeal of a union to faculty members. One section identifies the positive and negative consequences of unions,
and one of four appendices provides information in question/answer form for those schools now negotiating with faculty unions.
One appendix outlines a sample personnel policy, another is a glossary of labor terms, and the last is an annotated bibliography.

Changing patterns of school governance by Donald A Roberts(

The author examines innovative governance patterns in 25 independent schools around the country. Among student concerns are
student councils, honor committees, students in advisory capacities, faculty-student senates, all-school meetings, and constitutions.
Faculty concerns cover faculty associations, salary scales, faculty representation on boards, faculty meetings, and faculty
roles in governance. Effective systems that involve students in governance, the author asserts, are invariably honest, simple
in structure, small, challenging, unique to themselves, constantly changing, and based on a belief that some of our students
are morally capable of making important decisions. (Author/WM)
